It is predicted that the Metaverse technology is a kind of web-based platform that will change the world in various aspects and that this platform will have a fundamental role in reshaping the individual, society, state, and the world by gradually blurring the distinction between “real” and “virtual” by shaping this platform as a projection of the real/physical realm. When the predictions about the future of the Metaverse are analyzed, it is understood that the subject will gain an even more important place in life from today to the future. In this context, how the virtual life called the Metaverse is perceived, especially by Generation Z, is very important in understanding and making sense of the digital future. In this study, which aims to investigate the awareness, knowledge, perception, and attitudes of university students about the concept of Metaverse, it is aimed to determine the level of Metaverse perceptions of students and how they change according to demographic variables. This research was designed as a general survey model according to the quantitative research paradigm. The population of the study consists of Aksaray University students. To represent this population, 770 students from different academic units were accepted as the sample of this study. When the statistical results obtained from the students constituting the sample were examined; it was found that the Metaverse perceptions of Aksaray University students participating in the study were above the middle level. In addition, in the analysis made to determine what kind of metaphors the Metaverse expression created in the students, it was determined that the concepts of “Virtual”, “Future”, “World”, “Universe” and “Technology” came to the fore. After the discussion and conclusion based on the findings, some suggestions were made to researchers and decision-makers.
